*Wants to make a religion where an AR-15 is considered "Ceremonial"*
Well, it might well be to an individual. But none of these religious rights are respected. Why should those of others then be respected just for religions sake?

Well a case could be made for it on religious grounds. It'd be interesting to see go through the courts.

If the rules say no knives, then it should be no knives for all. If the rules allow blunt or permanently sheathed weapons, then that's cool too.
I remember the arguments I had with my fellow Christians over BA cross lady, back in the day. "Oppression of religion" they cried! "Um, no", said I - you're not required to wear a cross as a Christian, and even if you were, it would still be fair play for an employer to say you couldn't wear exposed jewellery.

Ah I see. (Nifty edit there)

Having different sets of rules depending on what your personal choice of beleif is, is a fundamentally unfair and ridiculous system.
If the school says you shouldnt be able to bring knives in, thats that. No knives. Not 'no knives unless you beleive in a particular god'.
There is a reason the school does not wish children to carry daggers. The reason remains the same regardless of background or CHOICE of religion.

seems pretty clear to me
Don't be confused. He posted only "I do yes" when I read it and added the rest later.

Tell you what, you build it and then you argue about whether you can take it to school.

It's not really a dagger though is it... it's a tiny symbol that is usually woven into clothing.

Can only speak for my boy who is 5, he is learning about other religions and races. He knows about muslims and also about sikhs. He has no sikhs or muslims in his school, in fact other than 2 black kids its a fully white non minority school.

No, its a dagger/knife, whatever you want to call it.
I agree with Fox here, no exception to the rule because of personal beliefs.
It's perfectly possible to bring a Mac10 to school as well, in under 3 minutes if your Asim.
